Chapter 624 Illogical(1/3)

Joseph Henry's army had three warships, but the tonnage was not large. The largest one was 300 tons, and the two smaller ones were only about 100 tons. In order to show their hospitality, Joseph Henry mobilized the largest warship.

The 300-ton warship was quite eye-catching when it was parked in the harbor, but when it sailed deep into the sea, it looked like a lonely boat in a river. Any waves rushed over, and the warship would shake for a few sways. It happened that the wind was strong that day, and the waves were high, so the ship naturally swayed violently.

Everyone on the ship immediately divided into two camps: seasickness and seasickness.

Joseph Henry and Smith live on islands all year round, and whenever they go out, they must take a boat. Due to the restrictions of Vincent Island's harbor, whether they sail northwest to Cuba or southeast to the South American continent, the boats they can take are these small boats with hundreds of tons tonnages. Therefore, they are naturally in a camp that is not seasick.

Robut often had to cross the sea by boat. Although the boats he rode were large ships of thousands of tons, sometimes the storm at sea would shake when the waves were heavy. Therefore, he was adapted and naturally belonged to the camp that was not seasick.

Luo Lie and Zhao Daming have solid martial arts foundation. Although they feel uncomfortable with this endless shaking, they can also be restrained and can be barely summarized into a camp that is not seasick.

But Qin Gang couldn't do it. Although his martial arts foundation was quite solid, he was following a horizontal practice path, focusing on the solidity of the lower plate. The most unbearable thing was the unstable shaking of the lower plate. When the ship sailed halfway, he was already so dizzy.

As for Xiao Gu Ting and Anne Braisson, they had long been vomiting a mess and could not get up in the shop sailor's bunk.

There are three seasick people who cannot affect the mood of people in the seasick camp, but the wind and waves at sea are strong and high, but they are not suitable for fishing at sea. Even Joseph Henry, a veteran in this path, shook his head repeatedly, and sighed helplessly that the heavens were not beautiful.

But Joseph Henry was well prepared and then hung the sea hook and raised the speed of the ship to five nautical miles per hour.

"Nuoli, my friend, it's really not good. It would be better if the wind was like yesterday. Today's sea breeze is indeed a bit heavy. However, this will not affect our seafood banquet later." Joseph Henry directed the sailors to prepare the sea hook and came to Luo Lie's side, and said sorry: "I have set two sea hooks to ensure that I can catch big fish. However, it's a pity that I didn't make you fish successfully."

As soon as Joseph Henry finished speaking, Luo Lie felt the float on the sea surface sink suddenly, and he hurriedly subconsciously closed the pole.

Success was successful, but the fish that bit the hook was only half a foot long.

A sea fish that is about half a foot long is nothing. For a sea fisherman like Joseph Henry, if he catches a fish of this size, he will often throw it back into the sea. But for a novice like Luo Lie, it is exciting to be able to catch such a big fish.

Luo Lie was excited and shouted, "This fish cannot be lost, it must be left behind, Henry, this is my result. It will be cooked later, and each one must be eaten."

The Caribbean Sea is a natural large fish farm with a wide variety of fish species and dense fish. Two sea hooks were hung out in just half an hour. When they were put away, they were full of fruits.

The seasick people were quite uncomfortable when they first got up. After vomiting and sleeping, they got used to it. Qin Gang took the lead and returned to normal. Not long afterwards, Anne Braisson and Little Gu Ting also came to the A-class of the boat from the sailor's cabin.

There was no cooking method on the boat. Although the chef level of the British Empire was originally average, he still wanted to show it when facing seafood ingredients. Joseph Henry stopped him and asked the chef on the boat to clean the sea fish, set up a large pot, boil a pot of white water, and threw the clean sea fish in it.

When the water in the pot boils again, the sea fish that had just been thrown in was cooked, they quickly took it out. Then, everyone put some dipping sauce according to their taste, cut off large pieces of fish meat, forked it, and dipped it in dipping sauce, which really made a unique taste.

"It's delicious!" Luo Lie couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Joseph Henry said proudly: "This is my original way of eating. I discovered that the fish was fished and transported to the harbor. Even though it was still alive, there was still a big gap compared to eating it directly on the boat."

Zhao Daming followed and praised: "Compared with the fish I bought in the vegetable market, it would be so delicious that it is impossible to say!"

Smith forked a piece of fish, dipped it in the ingredients, put it in his mouth, and tasted the deliciousness of the fish, and interrupted, "This way of eating is a helpless act of local fishermen, but for us, it is a rare and worth remembering experience. I have lived on Vincent Island since I was a child, and there are few opportunities to eat such delicious fish."

Luo Lie feasted and said excitedly: "This is the best fish I have ever eaten in my life! Henry, now you are short of your wine!"

Joseph Henry laughed and said, "It's already ready." After a snap of his fingers, the sailors on the boat immediately gave the people a good wine. "Nori, Smith, oh, and Mr. Robut, let us cheer for our bright future!"

Luo Lie, Henry, Smith and Robut were having fun at this table, but Zhao Daming, Qin Gang, Gu Ting and Anne Braisson at the other table started to make a fuss.

As the acting master of the New York hall, Zhao Daming had already changed his previous personality of being fussy and became calm. Qin Gang was not a person who could make trouble, and he was even more restrained in front of Zhao Daming, so he naturally would not be in trouble. Only Anne Braisen and Gu Ting were the ones who made trouble.

These two guys who were so seasick that they couldn't do it. I don't know why they started talking.

Although the reason is unclear, Zhao Daming saw the process. It was not Anne Braisen who was causing the trouble, but Gu Ting.

Zhao Daming had to scold Gu Ting: "Gu Ting, you are not allowed to treat Annie like this. Everyone comes out for fun, so you have to be happy."

Little Gu Ting said a little aggrievedly: "Why should she say that Brother Luo Lie?"

Zhao Daming said: "Why did she say about your brother Luo Lie?"

Xiao Gu Ting pouted and said angrily: "She said Brother Luo Lie likes her. When she returns to New York, she will marry Brother Luo Lie."

Zhao Daming smiled and said, "Just because of this, you quarrel with Annie?"

Gu Ting said with confidence: "Brother Luo Lie doesn't like her at all, and he won't marry him!"

Zhao Daming smiled and said, "Does your brother Luo Lie like Annie? Will you marry Annie? What does it have to do with you?"

Gu Ting bulged his cheeks and angrily stared at Zhao Daming, trying to tell, but he didn't know how to tell.

Anne Braisson said proudly: "Nori likes me. It is obvious that my father is friends with the chief lord of Anliangtang and a member of the Senate of the United States of America. He is likely to become the governor of California. Nori is a smart man. He knows what marriage with me can bring to him. So, as long as my father speaks, neither the chief lord of Anliangtang or Nori himself will refuse this engagement."

Gu Ting was so angry that no one could speak for him, and he burst into tears with anger.

Luo Lie heard the movement and looked at this side. Seeing Xiao Gu Ting wiping his eyes and crying, he hurriedly walked over, touched Xiao Gu Ting's little bald head, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Who bullied our Xiao Ting'er?"

Xiao Gu Ting was waiting for his backer and cried even more happily.

Zhao Daming explained in Chinese: "Annie said you like her. When she returned to New York, she would agree to marry her. Gu Ting heard it and was unhappy."

Luo Lie touched Gu Ting's little bald head and said, "Is that true?"

Gu Ting nodded sobly.

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Silly boy, did Brother Luo Lie tell you? Brother Luo Lie doesn't like her, how could he marry her? She can say whatever she wants. Anyway, let's take her back to Washington and hand it over to her father. Will it be over after completing this mission?"

Gu Ting said aggrievedly: "But Brother Daming insisted that it's not Xiao Ting'er's business."

Luo Lie said: "How can it not be related to Xiao Ting'er's business? Xiao Ting'er promised Brother Luo Lie to be the young follower of Brother Luo Lie for the rest of her life, right?"

Xiao Gu Ting nodded with a sob.

Luo Lie continued: "So, who will Brother Luo Lie like and who will marry him in the future, you won't deceive Xiao Ting'er, right? Otherwise, Xiao Ting'er will be angry and unwilling to be Brother Luo Lie's little follower. How sad Brother Luo Lie must be!"

Gu Ting burst into tears and made proud faces at Anne Braisson and Zhao Daming respectively.

Luo Lie then said in English to Anne Brasen: "Anne, you are a sensible girl. I hope you can remember what I said to you last evening, you must be restrained and restrained, and not cause trouble and add to your own things. Do you understand?"

Anne Braisson nodded seriously with his big eyes.

Luo Lie said again: "Xiao Ting'er boasted that she is already fifteen years old, but she is really a little over four years younger than you. As an elder sister, I hope you can give in to him, okay?"

Anne Braisson said: "I got it, Noli, in fact, I didn't say anything too much, okay, I listen to you, I'm the big sister, I should give in to him."

Luo Lie nodded, changed to Chinese and said to Zhao Daming: "Brother Daming, you are really good. Even if you want to deliberately make Xiao Tinger happy, you will score a point for the occasion, right? You know that Xiao Tinger is simple and doesn't like this young lady, but you still deliberately anger him to cry?"

This was just a small episode. Luo Lie came forward to settle it, but no one cared about it.

After the initial discomfort of the shaking of the hull, no matter whether it was seasick or not, I no longer became restrained and started to become active. No wonder, after all, the three seasick people were very young and recovered very quickly after adapting. However, when facing rare food, I naturally did not want to miss the opportunity.

Needless to say, those who were not seasick at first were not seasick. As the knife and fork were flying, there were only three sea fish weighing four or five pounds left. As the cups of wine were filled with two bottles of high-quality brandy were soon seen.

After eating and drinking, Joseph Henry commanded the warship to start his return journey.

When I returned to Vincent Island, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

After a fast day, after dinner at night, I slept steadily, and then I survived tomorrow morning and noon, Colonel William would set up a boat to Vincent Island as promised. At that time, everyone boarded the ship and sailed to San Diego, and this errand would be completed successfully.

As for what will happen in the future, whether Robut can make all three parties able to obtain satisfactory profits as planned. To be honest, it has nothing to do with Luo Lie Zhao Daming and others.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow covers Vincent Island. Vincent Island, which has no contradiction for a moment, looks particularly peaceful. Dark sugarcane and light-colored bananas complement each other. The sweetness of sugarcane and the fragrance of bananas are mixed with each other, making people feel extremely comfortable in both vision and smell.

Luo Lie, who returned to the island, found an excuse to get rid of everyone and stroll on the beach alone. He was not greedy for enjoying the charming island scenery, but just wanted to be quiet alone, because Anne Braisson reminded him of Alice.

Although he had insomnia last night, Luo Lie looked not bad, but there was a hint of sadness in his expression.

If Alice is still alive.

If Alice is by his side at this moment.

Then, how wonderful this world will be!

However, Alice is no longer there, she will never appear by her side, and her every frown and smile can only appear in her imagination.

So, what else is there to be called beauty in this world?

While sad, Luo Lie suddenly felt someone behind him. He hurriedly turned around, but saw Xiao Gu Ting following in the distance.

I don’t know why, when I saw Xiao Gu Ting, the sadness in Luo Lie’s heart suddenly subsided a lot. He stopped and waved to Xiao Gu Ting.

Little Gu Ting rushed over quickly.

"Why don't you stay in the house to rest, why do you run out secretly?" Luo Lie looked angry.

The quirky little Gu Ting could naturally see that it was Luo Lie's pretending, staring at Luo Lie with big eyes and replied: "Brother Luo Lie, do you have any worries, right?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "How did you see it?"

Xiao Gu Ting touched his little bald head and said, "If I have something to do, I like to hang out by the beach alone."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "What have you ever had?"

But Xiao Gu Ting suddenly turned red.

Luo Lie's smile became stronger and he said, "Why, I'm still ashamed? Are you attracted to a little girl and embarrassed to tell her?"

Xiao Gu Ting's face turned redder and more transparent.

Luo Lie pulled Xiao Gu Ting to his side, touched his little bald head, and said earnestly: "Xiao Tinger is still young, you need to learn more skills, so you can't just think about the little girl. When you return to New York, Brother Luo Lie will teach you how to practice kung fu, okay?"

Xiao Gu Ting nodded seriously and said, "Brother Luo Lie, Xiao Ting'er heard from Brother Ming that Brother Luo Lie's flying knife skills are amazing. Can you teach Xiao Ting'er to learn flying knife skills?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Of course, it's possible, but the question is that it takes hard work to practice flying knives. Can Xiao Ting'er bear this pain?"

Xiao Gu Ting said seriously: "Yes! Xiao Ting'er must do it! As long as Brother Luo Lie asked Xiao Ting'er to practice Kung Fu, no matter how hard it is, Xiao Ting'er is not afraid."

Luo Lie hugged Xiao Gu Ting's shoulder lovingly. The golden sunset was beating on the sea and sky in the distance, and the beautiful sunset reflected on the sea surface, golden scales flashed. Luo Lie hugged Xiao Gu Ting and walked on the beach facing the sunset, dragging two shadows from behind. Xiao Gu Ting, who was less than fifteen years old, was still developing, and his shoulders were still so weak. Luo Lie couldn't help but think of his fifteen years old. At that time, under the guidance of his senior brother, he had already achieved some success in flying sword skills.

When recalling his fifteen years old, I must remember Alice. Luo Lie always believed that the five years at the Global Circus were the happiest time in his life. At that time, although practicing martial arts was hard, he had the care of his master, the love of his elder brother, and the care of other senior brothers and sisters. The most important thing was that Alice was accompanied by his side.

"Brother Luo Lie, have you remembered her?" The little Gu Ting, who was leaning against Luo Lie, raised his face and looked at Luo Lie.
